2015 Team Preview: The John Champe Knights
February 19, 2015
By John Nolan
Assistant Director of Scouting-Prep Baseball Report VA/DC
As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.
Team: John Champe
Nickname: Knights
Class/Division: 3A East
District/Conference: 28/Dulles
Head Coach: Joe McDonald
Twitter Handle: N/A
2014 Overall Record: 3-17
2014 Post-Season Finish: N/A
Number of Returning Starters/Position Players: 8
Number of Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5
TOP RETURNERS (Commit)
Yareb Martinez, SS, 2017
Other Players of Interest for the Knights: Scott Schaffler (RHP, 2016), Nick Able (RHP, 2016) and Matt Newell (RHP, 2016)
Outlook:
John Champe had a tough first year of varsity competition in 2014. In 2015, the Knights return all of their starters from last year and will have a chance to improve on their season as they continue to build toward their first graduating class in 2016. The Knights are deep on the mound and are looking for big things from Scott Schaffler (RHP, 2016), Nick Able (RHP, 2016), and Matt Newell (RHP, 2016). The Knights’ offense will be keyed by Yareb Martinez (MIF, 2017) this year as they look to be more of a factor in the extremely competitive Dulles District.
